Colored mascara was all the rage forty years ago. Instead of black mascara to add to a gorgeous color eyeshadow, try on blue, or even a teal green. Not only is it a cool, different look, it’s also fun! Almay had an ad back in 1981 claiming that colored mascara was actually “scandalous.” However, seeing how there are still people today wearing these colors today, sp it seems like was never fully seen as scandalous, per Eyeko. Now it’s considered a fun returning trend, and great to experiment different looks with, according to L’Officiel.
It’s remarkable that in the last decade or so we’ve either seen a resurgence of many retro eye looks. There isn’t a way all makeup trends will go out of style permanently. It just depends on what you’d like to rock.
